To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, JoHN D. FETTER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Conshohocken, in the county of Montgomery and State ofPennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Drills andWrenches, of which the following is a speci fication.

This invention relates to tools, and has for an object the provision ofa tool in which there is included a pipe wrench, a socket wrench, and adrill,.all combined in a single tool.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a tool of thischaracter having means for remov'ably holding a variety of attachmentsfor adapting the tool for various uses, the said attachments having aratchet engagement with the tool handle, so that the tool may be used asan ordinary ratchet wrench or drill.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a combined wrenchand drill, which is exceedingly simple in construction and operation,strong and durable in character, and consists of a small number ofparts, which will not easily become broken or out of repair.

Other objects and advantages of-the invention will appear as thefollowing description is read in connection with the accompanyingdrawings.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is an edge view of a tool embodying the present invention, thesaid tool being shown for use as a pipe wrench.

Fig. 2 is a view at right angles to Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional view approximately on the line 3-3 ofFig. 1.

Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 1 showing the arrangement of the toolfor use as a socket wrench, parts being shown in section.

Fig. 5 is an enlarged section approximately on the line 5-5 of Fig. 4.

Fig. 6 is a view of the tool converted into a drill.

Fig. 7 is an enlarged section on the line 7-7 of Fig. 6.

Fig. 8 is a longitudinal sectional view at right angles to Fig. 6.

v Referring to the drawings in wherein like characters of referencedenote corresponding parts, the tool, as illustrated, includes a handle15, one end of which is formed with an oiiset extension 16, having anaperture 17 therein.

Pivotally secured upon a pin 18, which passes through the aperture 17,is a spanner 19, one end of which is provided with spaced apertured ears20, for the reception of the extension 16 and pin 18, so that the saidspanner will be pivotally mounted upon the handle 15. The opposite endof the spanner is provided with transversely disposed lugs 21, which areadapted to receive between them a substantially U-shaped clip 22. Thearms of this clip are formed at one end with oppositely located openings23, for the reception of the pin 18, the said arms being located uponeach side of the ears 20 of the spanner. The spanner is curved, asillustrated in the drawings, and when its free end is not engaged withthe clip 22, will form a yoke at the end of the handle 15, for thereception of various attachments, which may convert the tool into asocket wrench or drill. The lugs 21 are .so spaced with respect to theclip 22 as to provide a limited pivotal movement of the spanner whenengaged by the clip.

The end of the handle 15 is formed with laterally extending portions 24,which are toothed, as indicated at 25, so that when the tool is used asa pipe wrench these teeth will engage and bite into the pipe, theirarrangement being such as to grip the pipe when the wrench is rotated inone direction and to release the pipe when rotated in an oppositedirection. This provides a ratchet movement.

When it is desired to convert the tool into a socket wrench, the clip isdisengaged from the spanner, so as to permit of the insertion within theyoke of the tool of a socketed member 26. This member may be of eithersingle formation, as shown in Fig. 4, or double, as shown in Fig. 12. Inthe former event there is provided a single socket 27, while the spanner19 surrounds the reduced portion of the said member in a manner to is asimilar view of a drill holder. 1s a vlew of an extension memdetail,

permit the teeth to engage teeth 28 formed around the periphery of thereduced portion. These teeth are so disposed With respect to the teeth25 as to engage when the wrench is rotated in one direction and to bedisengaged when rotated in an opposite direction. The double-socketedmember 26 (Fig. 12) has its opposite ends provided with sockets 29 and30 otditlerent sizes, and intermediate its ends is provided with spacedflanges 31, between which the spanner 19 is received. Teeth 32 areprovided between the flanges 31 for engagement with the teeth 25 of thehandle.

In Fig. 1a there is illustrated an extension socketed member, whichcomprises a shank 33, having at one end a socket 3 1 and at its oppositeend teeth 35 for engagement with the teeth 25, while a flange 36provides a shoulder against which .the edge of the spanner 19 is adaptedto bear.

In Figs. 6, 7, and 8, the tool as illustrated. is used as a drill. Forthis purpose there is provided a socketed member 37, one'end of which isprovided with a tapered socket 38. The opposite end of the member 37 ispro vided with a threaded socket 39 for the reception of an adjustingscrew 10, which is adapted to lit the drill to the work. This screw isoperated by a pin ll, which is normally housed withina socket 42 formedin the handle, and is adapted to be received in an opening 43 providedin the screw 40, when the said screw is adjusted. The screw is providedwith tapered extremity 44, so as to permit of ease of rotation and whichacts as a drill. The member 37 is provided intermediate its ends withspaced flanges 45, be tween which are located teeth &6 for engagementwith the teeth 25 of the handle 15. The tool when used as a drilloperates in the same manner as when used as a socket Wrench, the teeth25 engaging the teeth at) when rotated in one direction and disengagedwhen rotated in an opposite direction.

The invention is susceptible of various changes in its term,proportions, and minor details of construction; and the right is hereinreserved to make such changes as properly fall within the scope of theappended claims.

Having described the invention, what is claimed is:

1. A tool comprising a handle, a spanner having one end pivotallysecured thereto, a ii-shaped clip pivotally secured to and embracing thehandle and detachably engaging the opposite end 01" the spanner, asocketed member positioned within the spanner, and interengaging meansbetween the handle and socketed member.

2. A tool comprising a handle, a spanner having'one-end pivotallysecured thereto, a clip pivotally secured to the handle for engagementaround the spanner, spaced shoul ders provided on the spannerandpositioned upon each side of the clip to permit of a limited slidingengagement between the spanner and clip, a socketed member positionedwithin the spanner, and interengaging means between the handle andsocketed member. I V

3. A tool comprising a'handle, a spanner having one end pivotallysecured thereto, a clip pivotally secured to the handle for engagementaround the spanner, spaced'shoulders provided on the spanner andpositioned upon each side of the clip to permit of a limited slidingengagement between-the spanner and clip, a socketed member positionedwithin the spanner, and a ratchet engagement between the handle andsocketed member.

4. A tool comprising a handle, a spanner having one end pivotallysecured thereto, a clip pivotally secured to the handle spaced shoulderslocated upon the free end" ofthe spanner and defining a notch forreceiving the clip for detachable connection with the spanner, asocketed member positioned within the spanner, and interengaging meansbetween the handle and socketed member.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

JOHN D. FETTER.
